Stacking the Shelves (146)/Sunday Post

Stacking the Shelves is all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves or TBR piles, may it be physical or virtual.  This means you can include books you buy in a physical store, online, books you borrow from the library or friends, review books, gifts and of course, ebooks! The original meme was started over at Tynga's Reviews. And it now has a new co-host where individuals can link up as well - Marlene from Reading Reality.  Clicking on the book (or title) should take you to the Goodreads page.  I'm also now linking up with the Sunday Post which is hosted by Kimberly@Caffeinated Book Reviewer. 
I had to run by  the library again this week to pick up a few holds.  I snagged "The Cruel Prince" after seeing so many people rave about it - hope the hype doesn't kill me.  I've had my eyes on "Snowblind" for ages so I finally grabbed it too.  I love horror books set in winter/snow.  Finally I had to continue on with "Chew Vol. 6."



I picked up a couple of things from Amazon for Paul Anka.  "Bone Music" was my Prime choice of the month.  I've read another Christopher Rice book in the past and enjoyed it.  I won't lie, "Blood on the Tracks" came up as an ad when I turned the Kindle on and at $.99 I had to grab it. There is a dog on the cover - he's small, but he's a dog.  It does sound good though.  "Class 5" was a freebie and I'll admit, I grabbed it pretty much based on the cover.




Two authors contacted me regarding their books and since they both look pretty good, I said "yes, please."  "The Nightmare Room" seems to be the beginning of a new horror series and "Her Mourning Portrait and Other Paranormal Oddities" sounds like a really interesting collection of short stories  Thanks to Chris Sorensen and John Brhel.


So what did you add to your stacks this week????

    Woo that is a lot of reads. Love the cover for Nightmare Room. Thinking I'd be too much of a baby for that one, though. lol

    I'm intrigued by Blood on the Tracks as I really want to meet Clyde! I'll need to check out some reviews before I take the plunge though as this isn't my comfort zone. Class 5 looks interesting too!

      I think Clyde sounds cool too and he's probably the only reason I grabbed it. At least it was on sale!

      I've been wanting to read Snowblind for years. And Class 5 is definitely speaking to me.

    I was also contacted about Her Mourning Portrait, but I feel bad because I still haven't read the last collection John sent me (Corpse Cold), which I'm trying to get to this month. I hope it's a good one!

    Ooo, got me curious about Chew. If you did not already know, there is an interesting new book out that might be of interest to you, The Friend by Sigrid Nunez which is about a woman and a dog she inherits.

      The Friend should be in transit to me right now. Chew is fun series but a long one.

    I haven't read any Holly Black except a short story which I enjoyed. I met her a couple years ago and she was super nice. I look forward to your review. Is it a stand alone?

    I love wintry horror, and I'm not even a huge horror fan. But I do like a terrifying snowstorm or whatever. :) And good luck with The Cruel Prince.

      There is just something scarier about being snowbound when terror strikes huh?

    I can't wait to see what you think of Snowblind! Have you read his book titled Ararat? That one was pretty spooky! It fell a bit flat for me while I was reading it, but it would make a great film!

      No but it's on my wishlist. I've heard good thing about it but also heard it's slow in places. I hope to get to it one day.

    Love, love, love everything about this list. I have the Cruel Prince as well and I keep wanting to pick it up. I love that you bought Blood on the Tracks just because of the pup! And Class 5 because of the cover. I do the same. Sometimes the covers just speak to us!

    I hope you have a fabulous week!

      I've read two others by him and really enjoyed them. He has a different writing style than his mother which is probably a good thing.
